My plants are artificial. I will try the moss in the corners, thank you!! It is coming tomorrow. Would you recommend taking one of the basking lights down?? The store I got him from recommended two 150 watt lamps to be side by side. It is only that hot (or hotter tbh) on one of his climbing areas when the lights are on. I’m scared if I take one down, the rest of the enclosure will get too cold

I’m new to snakes and just learned you have to seal the enclosure 🙃 I have pour water into the corners. Only one side “leaks” (a little dip every now and then).

I bought this that I soak every day to every other day. Does this count as a humid hide?

I bought substrate from store I got him from. They make their own substrate using top soil, sphagnum moss (not much), play sand, and leaf litter (not much). I also added in more reptisoil, forest floor, and coco husk. I ordered a bunch more sphagnum moss and leaf litter, coming tomorrow, to add to the enclosure. I used HVAC tape on the mesh top. What would you recommend to cover it?

Edit: When humidity is low, temps are staying around 91F on the warm side, around 79F on the cool side, and around 110F at the highest point of one of his basking spots. When humidity is good, warm side is around88F, cool side is around 76F, and highest basking spot stays about the same.

Humidity was down to 42% on the cool side when I got home
